I found my new driver lads very unusual looking piece of kit but what a buzz when you cream 9 out of 10 shots right down the middle of the fairway ;) I thought i was dreaming. I was trying out the benross v6 trimass but i was slicing of over then i asked the pro if he had any more demos in and bang this fearful looking thing came out.I said i would give it a go. Its hard to tell about distance with range balls but it was the trajectory that i got, you know when the ball starts off low then seems to climb forever. Sorry lads for going on about this but i've never had a club like it. Oh also got to put in that the shaft on the hex was a STIFF one.
Sorry for the gloat but had to share it has any1 else had this with this club?

when I tried it, I was really impressed with how straight it kept my ball flight, but I was disapointed with the overall distance for some reason.

I agree regarding accuracy, I don't hit this club as far as other drivers however given most courses I play the distance it gives me is fine, accuracy is the most important feature.

Thanks boabski, shame they didnt have a regular shaft for me to try instead of the stiff one.

looks a good driver mate, but i think if they had the yellow and black pro-force shaft instead of the black and white one it would be better.i wonder if you asked to get one ordered if they would do it?

I really liked the Wilson Spine when I tried one (except the white shaft which I found distracting). May consider one when I move down to a 10.5 degree loft.
